ELKC 34 update

Posted by computer dude

Here is the plan: 400 AMPS OF MEGA POWER!

Can you say OMG! Thats the plan to put another 200 amp panel in that room so we can feed all the hungry children of the world…..lol! Want some serious gaming? Well this will give us all the power we need to run not only our LAN’s but power up for anything we can throw at this power grid. Now what I need from you is to get registered so I can pay for all this! lol! :)

After meeting with the staff at American Inn we determined that we just weren’t getting enough to eat at our last event so we decided to beef up the power to keep us happy! The plan is to keep us coming back for more events and why not invest in our future by giving us the only place that can handle an event like ours. Much to my delight this will supply us with more than enough power.

ELKC 34.0 will be a celebration of our 4th year in providing the metro area with the finest in pc and console gaming. I know sometimes its rough getting power running right, tournaments on time, or just things go wrong. However, how many of the events do you remember that went perfect? Thats right you don’t because most only remember the ones where problems arose. Why? Memories, thats why. LAN parties are notorious for problems because things happen that are out of your control. You deal with them and then you go on. Thats why we are on our 4th year! As a special we are charging half price on entry for female gamers for ELKC 34.0.

Hope to see you there! For more info go to our website: www.extremelankc.com



The YBox was pretty much destined to become a hit with the DIY crowd just as soon as it was handed 15 spectacular minutes at last summer’s Maker Faire. For those who reckoned the project would fade into the sunset as quickly as it arrived, we’ve got news proving your assumptions wrong… dead wrong. YBox2 has at long last arrived to the party, ready to serve up widgets and all sorts of pertinent information on your television screen. The new kit boasts an 80MHz Parallax Propeller chip and functions with any NTSC / PAL TV and any DHCP-compatible router — and yes, it still all fits within a flashy Altoids tin. Score!
